Architect Arney Fender Katsalidis will transform a disused railway site in Rome into a low-carbon neighbourhood as part of the Reinventing Cities programme, which encourages cities to strive towards net-zero urban developments.

The Campo Urbano proposal will see 24,000 square metres of former railway infrastructure around Rome's Tuscolana station turned into a mixed-use development.

The car-free project will be self-sufficient in energy, will make use of biomaterials and will feature reversible buildings that can be taken apart at the end of their useful lives.

Arney Fender Katsalidis (AFK) is working on the project as part of a consortium led by Italian developer Fresia RE.

It is one of 49 projects that will be built as part of the Reinventing Cities competition organised by the global C40 Cities network to help urban areas meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change.

C40 Cities launched the competition four years ago "to drive carbon-neutral and resilient urban regeneration".
Projects to be built in 19 cities
In total, 49 projects in 19 different cities will be realised as part of the competition, which called for proposals to develop underutilised spaces into "beacons of sustainability and resiliency".

Winners were chosen on the basis of the ambition of their strategies for reducing whole-lifecycle emissions including both embodied carbon - emissions generated during the production of materials and construction - and operational carbon, which covers emissions caused by the building's use.

"The competition said you have to strive for zero carbon," said Hélène Chartier, head of zero-carbon development at C40 Cities. 'They had to make a carbon assessment including a lifecycle analysis of their projects. Some are better than others."

The Rome masterplan is designed around the increasingly popular concept of the 15-minute city, where all the essentials for day-to-day life are within a 15-minute walk or cycle.

It will include residential, office space, retail, a student hotel and an "Energy Park" that provides both green spaces for recreation and a source of biomass for energy production.
Campo Urbano to eventually be carbon-negative
As with all Reinventing Cities projects, a central aim is to achieve the lowest possible carbon footprint across its lifecycle. AFK claims the Campo Urbano project will become carbon negative over a 60-year timeframe.

"In compliance with the LEED Zero standard, Campo Urbano reaches and exceeds the zero-carbon level when the construction and management of the entire development over a time span of 60 years is taken into account," the studio said.

To achieve the LEED Zero energy rating, Campo Urbano will meet its own energy needs through a mix of rooftop photovoltaics and biomass power. For the latter, compost from homes, woody crops from the Energy Park and sustainably obtained wood will be used to generate heating, cooling and electricity through pyro-gasification.

This technique sees waste heated to a high temperature in a low-oxygen environment to produce synthetic gas.

Campo Urbano will also apply green construction principles to reduce embodied carbon. It will make wide use of low-carbon materials such as timber, including in an 8,000-square-metre glulam building, and will take a "retrofit-first" approach that means renovating existing structures where possible.

"The project is a huge step away from generic 'tabula rasa' urban development in favour of urban repair, which means carefully bringing the site's existing structures back into use and incrementally weaving in new civic spaces and uses within the existing fabric of the city," AFK associate director Tommaso Franzolini told Dezeen.

Urban developments that "strive for zero carbon" to start on site in Milan, Paris, Reykjavik and Oslo

The full extent of the proposed public realm will be car-free. "We achieved this through a detailed study of future car-parking demand curves and the subsequent optimisation of the parking infrastructure dimensions," Franzolini explained.

"This has, in turn, enabled us to consolidate public and private car parking requirements, Park&Ride, Kiss&Ride, drop-offs and sharing mobility platforms within a compact underground mobility hub on two levels directly connected with both the main residential building and the train station," he added.
Buildings "designed for deconstruction"
New buildings will be designed for deconstruction, using mechanical rather than chemical connections that allow for disassembly, and homogenous materials that are easily recycled.

There is a power purchase agreement in place for renewable electric energy to cover the substantial energy requirements for electric-vehicle charging, and a green infrastructure plan, which aims to create jobs to support the area's economic recovery, is part of the proposal.

Campo Urbano will also partly rely on carbon credits earned by investing in carbon sequestration projects to offset emissions and help it get as close as possible to net-zero.

This will make it the first carbon-negative and car-free urban district in Rome, according to the studio.

"The masterplan aims to align with selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and C40's global design priorities while responding to local conditions and what matters to the local community," said Franzolini.

"The result is the first carbon-negative and car-free urban district in Rome which includes the largest urban energy park in Europe - a piece of green infrastructure that integrates the clean energy resources of the site and offers new opportunities for green jobs - as well as a network of diverse buildings designed with the latest modular and timber technologies in mind."

Governments have done "very little" to address climate change says head of zero-carbon development at global cities network

The Reinventing Cities competition for the Tuscalona site was held by city authority Roma Capitale and site owner FS Sistemi Urbani in collaboration with C40 Cities.

It awarded just over half of Tuscolana's 45,000-square-metre disused railway site to the Campo Urbano consortium.

C40 Cities is "a network of the world's megacities committed to addressing climate change". It now has 97 member cities, representing over 700 million people altogether and making up a quarter of the global economy.

Members, which include London, Shanghai, São Paulo and Lagos, pledge to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, halving carbon emissions by 2030 and eliminating them altogether by 2050.

In an interview with Dezeen, C40 Cities' Chartier said that cities are "leading the way" in the effort to reach net-zero, adding that national governments had done "very, very little" to deliver the goals of the Paris Agreement.

AFK is a global firm whose previous work includes Brookfield Place East, the tallest building in Calgary, Canada. It is working on Campo Urbano via its London office.

OMA has designed a mixed use masterplan in North East London. It has workspaces, a riverside park and more than a thousand homes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
OMA has developed a masterplan for a mixed-use neighbourhood in southeast London, UK, which will have workspaces, a riverside park and more than a thousand homes.

Named Morden Wharf, the scheme has been developed by Dutch studio OMA with real estate developer U+I for a 2.4-hectare site on Greenwich Peninsula, adjacent to the Richard Rogers-designed O2 Arena.

The neighbourhood will introduce 1,500 homes, a mix of industrial and makers' workshops, and a landscaped park that stretches 275 metres along the River Thames.

OMA's inclusion of makers' workshops and industrial workspace in Morden Wharf pays homage to the industrial heritage of Greenwich Peninsula. The design of and entrance to these spaces will be overseen by London studio Chetwoods.

The masterplan also harks back to the site's pre-industrial history as marshland and will place emphasis on landscape design to tackle the deficit of open, green space in the area.

"Morden Wharf is designed to foster community and has the right mix of uses to create a successful and vibrant neighbourhood, all stitched together with a beautiful public realm," said OMA partner Reinier de Graaf.

"We have drawn design inspiration from Greenwich Peninsula's industrial heritage - from the warehouses and silos that once sat on the site, to the iron lattice structure of the gasholders," he added.

"We have also looked back further, to the original marshland landscape of the peninsula, and in creating the park and public realms we are seeking to return the post-industrial landscape to a more natural and ecologically diverse condition."

Morden Wharf's landscape design incorporates a number of spaces for play and recreation, alongside a public square for seasonal events and markets.

The riverside park will feature a small beach and be connected to the existing Thames Path, which will also be upgraded and widened as part of the scheme.

While OMA intends for the neighbourhood to cater almost exclusively to pedestrians and cyclists, there will be hidden, underground car parking facilities.

Alongside the proposed makers' spaces and industrial units, the masterplan will also include office spaces dedicated to small enterprises and creative businesses. These will also be overseen by Chetwoods, with some housed in existing buildings on the site.

OMA and Laboratorio Permanente to transform two Milanese railway yards into "ecological filters"

Morden Wharf's housing design includes approximately 1,500 residences, 35 per cent of which will be deemed as affordable and many will be developed for families.

Details about their materiality are yet to be disclosed, though the homes will be contained in towers with green facades to "provide natural screening and improve air quality". The creative workspaces will be housed in buildings with a more industrial aesthetic.

Proposed construction dates for the scheme are yet to be revealed, but plans were submitted for approval in June 2020.

As part of the project, Carmody Groarke has also designed a boathouse on an existing jetty, which is intended as a permanent mooring spot for Gloriana, the Queen's Rowbarge.

OMA was founded in 1975 by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas alongside Elia Zenghelis, Madelon Vriesendorp and Zoe Zenghelis.

Elsewhere, the studio is also developing a rural culture complex in Melbourne, a garden bridge for Washington DC and a masterplan in Milan that will turn two abandoned goods yards into public parks.
